The
company Parajet Automotive has been working for several years on a flying car,
or more precisely an all-terrain paraglider, the SkyRunner.
After
a first prototype equipped with a Yamaha R1 engine and with two seats, the
company turned to a more efficient option with a 1.0l EcoBoost Turbo engine
that emits only 114g/km.
This
second prototype announces the stage of production with an improved design,
however it welcomes only one person.
Its
weight is kept low thanks to a tubular structure that weighs only 420 kg -
excluding driver. Thus, with 125 Hp and 200 Nm of torque from the 1.0l Turbo
coupled to a four-speed transmission the SkyRunner reaches 0-100 km/h in just
4.3 seconds while the consumption of road mode is announced at 5.0l per 100 km
Two
modes, in road mode the SkyRunner reaches a maximum speed of 185 km/h for a
range of 805 km from the 35 liters tank. In flight mode the speed reaches 88
km/h for a range of 321 km, while the maximum altitude is 3000 meters.
